When did you learn English?
We asked seven big names, including Didier Drogba and Petr Cech, for their opinions about life in England and learning English.
Watch the video and read the transcript to find out what they said when we asked them:
When did you learn English?
Didier Drogba: I learned English at school but the way you learn English is completely different as when you come here and you have to speak so it’s very different.
Dirk Kuyt: When I was at school and high school… when I was 12 or 13, we already get lessons, English lessons… so everybody in Holland speak English not very well but at least they can speak a few words.
Mido: I was speaking good English. I learned it in school and then when I went, when I travelled to Belgium I started to speak better. Cause I think language is not only about learning, it’s about.. it’s about, you know, talking to people, it’s about living over here. You always get better and better.
Gilberto Silva: Now when I first came I didn’t know anything about the English you know… just a few words, you know. But I had… I had to work hard here.
Petr Cech: When I came to England I spoke little bit English but it was the basic English I learnt at school. I had a… English course every week, for two hours every Thursday because Thursday was the best day for me and I’ve been doing this for about a year. So that’s why I think it’s very important and I feel much more comfortable now with English, I can do interviews , I can express myself, really I can say what I want and not to do any big mistakes, hopefully.
Ivar Ingimarsson: Learning English – quite well. We have to learn it in school starting from 8 or 12 or something where I come from and then obviously you go for the cinema and you see the films but er.. I like to hope, I like to think it has improved a little bit in the 7 years I have been here.

I began to learn English in the middle school. Unfortunately teaching method wasn't modern and educational. Now internet has plenty of source and I like study individually.

To adapt yourself to a new culture must be very hard. Specially language. It's desperate when you don't know what others are talking.

Students usually learn the basic English at school whereas when you travel and deal with natives it's a complete story.
It's all about practice and appropriacy.

Hi Mardalua,
I can see the video both on my mobile and laptop through Google Chrome on my computer. Can you try refreshing by hitting F5? If you're still having problems can you let me know what device you are using and on which browser and then I may be able to help more.
Many thanks,

A very good activity to get to know how different players learnt English, which they need to be able to communicate on the pitch and off-field.

I must admit that out of all my friends from non-English speaking countries Scandinavians are the best in English.

Some players have better predisposition for learning english language and some of them pronounce it with a hint of their native language.
